Lee Sung Jong wasn’t one who believed in fate. He was a happy-go-lucky person with lots of friends, he was the kind of person that would believe in things such as fate, the stars or the red string, but he didn’t. He actually found it very ridiculous, ‘I make my destiny, not the stars.’ he would think whenever his girl classmates would talk about these kinds of things.

“Sung Jong~” called out his chodding of a hyung, Sung Yeol. “Were you listening?”

“Yeah, hyung.” replied Sung Jong boredly. “You were planning on going out tomorrow night, right?”

“Yup!” exclaimed Sung Yeol enthusiastically. “That’s why I’m asking if you’d be okay with it?”

“Of course I would.” said Sung Jong confused with his hyung’s question. “Why wouldn’t I?”

“Aish! This kid!” cried Sung Yeol. “You weren’t listening at all! You explain it to him hyung!”

“You should really stop daydreaming Jongie.” Sung Gyu smiled at the younger. “Anyways, we are planning on going out tomorrow, with…” Sung Gyu couldn’t seem to finish his sentence but Sung Jong seemed to have figured out the rest.

“Greasy-hyung, Dancing-hyung and Quiet-hyung are coming, right?” finished the youngest for him with a teasing smirk.

“Jongie!” scolded Sung Gyu who was blushing furiously. “Woo Hyun is not greasy! His just…” Sung Gyu couldn’t seem to defend his lover.

“Greasy? Cheezy? A complete failure at doing aegyo?” stated Sung Jong. “Pick one hyung.”

“Anyways Sung Jong.” interjected Dong Woo after seeing his hyung get completely owned by the youngest. “You’re right, L, Woo Hyun and Hoya-sshi are coming with us. So we’re wondering if you’d be okay with that?”

“I’ll be fine hyung.” smiled the younger. “I’m used to it by now. Besides, you picked great lovers so they’re really nice to me.”

With that said the three hyungs were reassured that Sung Jong wouldn’t feel left out. They love their boyfriends but they wouldn’t want to leave their beloved maknae alone either.

“You know Sung Jong,” started Sung Yeol as he looked seriously at the maknae. “You should really follow your red string by now.” ended the choding which the maknae just rolled his eyes to.

“I don’t believe in those things hyung.”

“You’ll be saying differently when you meet your fated person Jongie.” added Dong Woo as he ruffled their maknae’s hair.

The next night, Sung Jong was having lots of fun sitting, chatting and laughing with his friends and their lovers. He felt that nothing could get him down right now, that is until he went to the bathroom just to bump into a handsome stranger, causing him to fall first on the floor.

“Ouch!” cried Sung Jong as he rubbed his poor .

“I’m sorry miss.” said the stranger as he helped Sung Jong up. “I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

“It’s okay.” answered Sung Jong a bit abruptly, he was kinda irritated for being called miss.

“But you shouldn’t really go into the men’s bathroom miss.” advised the stranger.

Sung Jong then glared at the stranger. He was clearly handsome but his irritation clouded that thought from his head.

“Thank you for the advice sir,” Sung Jong said with irritation in every word. “But I think that would be more useful to a girl not a boy like me.”

“You’re a guy!” cried the stranger with pure surprise. “You’re too pretty to be a guy!”

Sung Jong blushed at his words and was utterly speechless. He just passed through the guy as he mumbled a quiet but audible ‘I need to get back to my friends.’

When he got back to his seat he could see his friends were getting ready to leave and were just waiting for him.

“Why are you all red Jongie?” asked Sung Yeol.

“Nothing.” mumbled Sung Jong as he got his bag, he was then held by Sung Gyu as he looked at the maknae worriedly.

“Did someone hit on you again?!?” Sung Gyu said. “Who was it? I swear I’ll re-arrange the guys face!”

“No one hit on me hyung.” replied Sung Jong trying to calm down his over-protective motherly hyung. “Someone just mistook me for a girl again.” he emphasized the word again just to remind his hyung that it was a normal occurrence.

“Oh.” Sung Gyu said in relief. “It’s good if that’s all then.”

“Maybe I should give Sung Jong lessons on how to be manly like me.” joked Woo Hyun earning him a smack on the head from his lover.

“Pabo!” exclaimed Sung Gyu then he smiled at the maknae. “We like Sung Jong just the way he is.”

 “Besides hyung,” added L as he wrapped his arms around Sung Yeol’s waist then rested his chin on his shoulder. “Sung Jongie would only learn cheesy pick-up lines from you.” earning him laughs from the others besides Woo Hyun who just pouted.

“Well, we’d better get going now.” announced Hoya as he intertwined his fingers with Dong Woo’s “Me and hyung need to be early for dance practice tomorrow.”

“Aigoo, you dance maniacs.” muttered Sung Gyu as he waved goodbye to the two. He then turned to Sung Jong and asked him if he would want a ride home, which the younger politely declined since his apartment was walking distance from there. He said his goodbyes then started his way back home.

While walking to his apartment Sung Jong couldn’t help but remember the little bathroom incident. Sure lots of people called him girly or pretty but those people weren’t near as handsome as that guy.

“It’s not like I’ll meet him again anyway.” Sung Jong said to himself as he was reached his floor. He instantly noticed that there were empty boxes in front of the door to the apartment next to him.

‘Someone must have finally rented that apartment.’ thought Sung Jong. ‘I guess I’ll be having a new neighbor. I might as well greet him or her before I go into my home.’

Before he could knock on the door, footsteps could be heard rushing from the stairs followed by a bit of panting. When Sung Jong turned to look at the intruder his eyes turned as big as dinner plates which the panting stranger seemed to mimic.

“The pretty boy!” cried the stranger as he rushed towards Sung Jong with a smile in his face. “I thought I’d never get to see you again.”

“Why?” asked Sung Jong who was still surprised by the strangers sudden reappearance.

“I’m not stalking you, if that’s what you were thinking.” laughed the other. “Or maybe you’re stalking me.”

“For your information Mr. Stalker, I live here.” said Sung Jong as he puffed his cheeks cutely. He then decided to get into his house before the older one could further. ‘I’ll just greet the new neighbor tomorrow.’ He thought as he rummaged through his pockets.

He then found out something very terrible: he lost his keys. He frantically searched his bag but was stopped when he hear a soft tinkle and an amused laugh. He looked at the handsome stranger and saw him hold out a set of keys that had a pair of rings as a keychain he also had an amused smile playing on his lips.

 “You dropped this when you fell. Sorry about that again.”

“My keys!” cried Sung Jong as he ran to the other. “I didn’t even notice that I lost them.”

“So you live here huh?” said the stranger as he gave Sung Jong his keys. “That’s funny.”

“What’s so funny about it?” replied the younger as he eyed the stranger who passed by him. “it might be small but at least it’s comfortable.”

“I know.” said the other as he went in front of the door next to Sung Jong’s. He then inserted his own key and the door opened with a click. “I hope you’ll take care of me new neighbor.”

“You’re my new neighbor?!?” said Sung Jong completely shocked.

“Yup. Fate must have brought this on us.” smiled the stranger now turned neighbor. “I’m Kim Myung Soo, you are?”

“Lee Sung Jong.” replied Sung Jong politely.

“Well then Sung Jong-sshi,” started Myung Soo. “Would you like to come inside?”

“No, it’s fine, I might just be a disturbance to you.” replied Sung Jong.

“But you were standing in front of my door a minute ago, come on in I have some ice cream in the fridge, think of it as an apology for bumping into you earlier.” Myung Soo insisted.

“If there’s going to be ice cream then I won’t argue with you anymore.” Smiled Sung Jong as he made his way into the elders apartment.

And so the two of them entered Myung Soo’s home. Once inside Sung Jong couldn’t help but notice that it was a lot neater than he thought it would be.

“It’s just clean now since I don’t have much stuff yet,” said Myung Soo as if reading the others thoughts. “Sit down on one of the chairs and I’ll get the ice cream.” Sung Jong did as he was told.

As Myung Soo was in the kitchen preparing snacks, Sung Jong was looking around when his eyes fell on a small white envelope with a familiar symbol. It was an acceptance letter to Woolim University, the school were Sung Jong was studying right now.

When Myung Soo got back, Sung Jong thanked him then he asked about the letter.

“I’m going to study there starting tomorrow.” replied Myung Soo casually as he handed Sung Jong a bowl of ice cream. “Why’d you ask?”

“Nothing… It’s just that I also go there.” replied Sung Jong sheepishly, then he took in a spoonful of ice cream. “Mhmm, strawberry!”

“I’m glad you like the flavor.” replied Myung Soo smiling at the youngers cuteness. “What major are you in?”

“Conservatory music, major in piano and classical music.” replied Sung Jong who smiled proudly.

“What a coincidence,” said Myung Soo. “I’m also in the music department but I specialize in guitar and composition. Fate really must have brought us together Sung Jong-sshi.”

“I don’t really believe in fate hyung.” stated Sung Jong.

“Oh? I thought you did.” the elder said.

“What made you think that?” asked Sung Jong while tilting his head cutely.

“You look like a puppy when you tilt your head like that.” laughed Myung Soo as the other blushed. “I thought you believed in fate since you have one of those paired couple rings.”

“Oh, you mean this?” said Sung Jong as he held out his keys. “My hyung just gave it to me for fun, saying that it’ll lead to my destiny blah blah.”

“You really don’t believe in those things, do you?” laughed Myung Soo. “I agree with you at some point and I agree with your hyung at another point.”

“And what point do you agree with me hyung?” asked Sung Jong curiously.

“That meeting you wasn’t fate,” said Myung Soo seriously. “It was inevitable.”

“Oh.” Sung Jong said blushing. “Then how do you agree with Sung Yeol-hyung?”

“That those rings would lead you to your destiny,” smiled Myung Soo. “You met me through those rings right?”

“I don’t get you hyung.”

“Give it time Jongie.” said Myung Soo smiling. “You’ll understand me soon enough.”

“You’re weird hyung.” said Sung Jong still confused.

“And you’re messy Jongie.” Myung Soo laughed as he smeared away a bit of ice cream at the corner of Sung Jong’s mouth making him blush furiously.
